What a Sin

V5.5

________________________________________________ You’re dressing up like you’ve got somewhere else to be Like you’re stepping through a door that’s closed to me Did you forget I have my eyes in every room? Did you miss how heavy my spirit’s grown? For days now, I’ve been sitting in this silence alone Reading every shadow on your face _________________ Our morning coffee’s grown so cold and thin Just empty plates where laughter should have been We look right through each other, staring into space You hold a secret in your quiet place You know something… but you just let it sit ___________________ And you were there when my tears fell like rain You were the first rose that ever bloomed for me Now look at you, the spark is gone, the ember died No… it’s worse than that, you lost your faith inside I never got to hold you close enough, it seems And oh, what a sin you’ve committed against our dreams ___________________ I see you pulling back your hands, retreating slow Packing up the pieces of a love you used to show You act as if I’m blind to where you’re going As if the cold wind between us isn’t blowing I held your light when the whole world went dark Now I’m searching through the ash for a single spark ____________________ The room gets bigger every time you speak Your answers short, your body language weak We pass each other like two ghosts in a hall You’re waiting for the final wall to fall You know it’s over… but you let me guess ______________________ And you were there when my tears fell like rain You were the first rose that ever bloomed for me Now look at you, the spark is gone, the ember died No… it’s worse than that, you lost your faith inside I never got to hold you close enough, it seems And oh, what a sin you’ve committed against our dream _________________________ Was it so easy to just lay it down? To watch us burn and not make a sound? You broke the promise before you made the move Left me in a home with nothing left to prove! ________________________ ’Cause you were there when my tears fell like rain You were the first rose that ever bloomed for me Look at you now… the spark is gone, the ember died You gave up, you lost all faith inside I never got to hold you like I meant to do Look at the wreckage… look what you put us through ___________________________ Our breakfasts have grown lonely… Just empty plates now. You walked away long before you left the room. What a sin… what a sin.
